Imperial MSc Finance vs. MSc Investments and Wealth Management opinions.

Hi,

I am considering both of these programs although I can't find any major differences between these two. Obviously, the major difference is that the second one prepares you better for Asset Management roles.

However, how they are comparable in
a) Job placements
b) GMAT average (which one is harder to get in)
c) any other relevant factors

Would be glad for any responses!

Hi, I think you will be able to do more with the MSc finance as it is quite general, the second one is a bit more focused but will still leave you with lots of opportunities, depends what you want to do later on
